Is It Really Possible to Eat More, Lose More, and Weigh Less?:

Did you know t 64 percent of people in the US are overwet? T obesity is respoble for

325,000 deaths every year? T 27 percent of Americans are classified as obese? And t obesity

in the US is incsing at an alarming rate? Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we could eat the

same amount - or e - and still lose wet? Is it lly possible to eat e, lose e, and

we less? The answer is "yes!"

Research has found t people l full based on the amount of food they eat, not their cric

intake. Therefore, it is possible to l as full after eating a plate of whole-wheat pasta tossed

h fresh tomatoes and olive oil as it is to consume a plate of fettuccine alfredo. I know w

you're thinking - whole-wheat pasta doesn't taste as good. But does the fettuccini lly taste

better, especially when you coder the damage it is doing?

The number of cries in a specific amount or wet of food is called "crie dety." The e

"dense" a food is, the e "fattening" it is. Foods t contain a lot of water or fiber and

little fat are usually codered low in crie dety. These choices will help you l full

hout adding unnecessary cries.

By trading cm-based soups for filling, broth-based soups (such as minestrone), chips for raw

vegetables and hummus, French fries h baked potatoes and low-fat sour cm, you CAN eat e and

lose wet.

Another trick is not to let yourself get too hungry. By eating a meal low in crie dety every

two-three hours, you can maintain a comfortable, satisfied ling t prevents the cric

overloading when you l famished.

Make sure you stay hydrated. Often, people will mistake thirst for hunger. So be sure you're

drinking enough water and other non-cric liquids during the course of the day. Avoid drinks such

as soda, regular milk, and sugar-laden tea and cof.

Take an inventory of your kitchen and replace dairy products h low- or non-fat, white rice h

brown rice, white bd h grain bd, chips and pretzels h vegetables and fruit. Eat e

frequently and enjoy the lter, healthier ling t comes h consuming foods t are low in

crie dety.

And start eating e, losing e, and weing less today.
